10 Awesome Music Videos Directed by the Incomparable Spike Jonze

Many movie fans know who Spike Jonze is, but he’s hardly a household name. After Where the Wild Things Areis released, though, I’m guessing that Jonze’s popularity will skyrocket. Jonze is a more than capable film director – see Being John Malkovich, for example – and like other talented film directors, he’s directed his fair share of music videos. Jonze has a style that defies classification and just about all of his music videos are “fun” to watch. I expect big things from Where the Wild Things Are, but for a glimpse of Jonze’s talent, all you need to do is check out some of his music videos. After the jump, enjoy 10 awesome music videos directed by the incomparable Spike Jonze. I’m sure you’ll recognize at least a few of them.
